This forum is getting really out of hand. I mean look at this thread.

If your going to say that your account has no recoveries, at least re host the image with a different name?
Anyway, I'm getting seriously annoyed of the amount of scammers on this forum, and it seems that scammers are getting more and more dumb. So the poll on this thread is asking the following things, which I am proposing.
1. Bring back the 'Trusted list'
2. Introduce a middleman system like sythe has. The qualifications for this list would be hard and all the people on it would need to be trusted. Obviously these people will take some commission but if it stops people getting scammed so often why not?
3. More moderation, and a rule saying that you are not allowed to post threads saying 'I wont go first no matter who you are'
Anyway, hope at least some of you support me in this. Thanks for reading :)

I like the sythe idea..
But lots of people gain there trust up high doing big trades, then a HUGE trade comes along and BAM they got an extra 50m+ in there pocket..
Gaining trust is just using it to scam later..

He is right it's very annoying to find this happen.

It would be extremely hard to get on, and if you scam once you get removed automatically and get placed on the untrusted list.

Or totally get rid of the whole trading accoutns, mils etc habbo for rs yhyh.
Pointless threads like this and so n so is trusted spoil the forum.

How is this a pointless thread? This is nothing like 'Am I trusted'...
This is an idea for an implimentation of a new system to curb down on scams completely.

Make it tougher to get onto the trusted list.
People who are on the un-trusted list should never be able to get onto the trusted list.
We should have official middle-men/women *winks* that are trusted and also well known throughout the forums and irc/runescape.
My opinion,

irc is junk cus like me, not everyone uses it
cus ppl abuse it and kick ppl cus they got leet powers.

Irc is a no, as not everybody uses Swift.
Trusted trader list fo sho, must have 5+ trades with pics and 3 of them musts have vid to get on yes
Official Middleman List - Must have mm'd 3 pin trades, 5 rs-habbo trades and 1 10m+ trade to get on. Before you can start mming you must be on the trusted list.
that way only the really trusted members of habbox can be mms
thats just my opinion tho

Obviously these people will take some commission but if it stops people getting scammed so often why not? - As good as this seems i doubt this will actually work to tell you the truth too many noobs out there.
3. More moderation, and a rule saying that you are not allowed to post threads saying 'I wont go first no matter who you are' - More moderation will take effect once moderator application trialists are announced and the no matter who you are is a no, its personal trust and if you were to get scammed moderators or admins would get blamed.
Anyway, hope at least some of you support me in this. Thanks for reading :)

Not to be a ball buster or anything dont hate me if im wrong but didnt you just have a thread saying you scammed 4.5mill to a platnum thingy?
name was woferboy or sumit and everyone was saying you scammed on the thread.. Please dont take this as im saying you do scam im just asking..
Middleman is bad idea as 2 people could get scammed, even if the members are trusted, people on the trusted list last time scammed which is why it was removed

like a certain OLD MOD :|
Really people, it's common sense. If you trade someone who obviously isn't trusted, it's your own fault. Only trade the people you really trust. Having the trusted list actually produces more scammers, because people do loads of safe trades, get on the list then scam till no one trusts them anymore.

No point in trusted list we have the untrusted list which is better
No middel man not only because they could scam both traders but not many people will want to do it because of the risk like if your trading 10m for habbo i dont think the middel man will do that they could get banned....
Whats wrong with saying i wont go first no matter who you are...

I realy couldn't care less, I know who to trust and you cant be told who is trusted you just have to find that out yourself, I havent been scammed and ive never asked someone 'Is so and so trusted?'
Its all ** imo

Trusted list causes more problems than it solves, untrusted list works better imo.
We should have a MM system, but the MMs would have to be extremely trusted. Maybe we vote them as MMs, or have a high number of vouches as a req?

i agree we shud :D
Tbh, don't really matter what you do theres always going to be scammers... i think unsafe list is best + the reason people scam is cuz when there new to the forum someone will take advantage and scam them then when that person becomes trusted they will atleast 60% of the time do the same and scam so its like a big circle.. rly
- if that makes sence.. :eusa_wall

If i had to chose, Untrusted list is better.
Jordan7193
17-08-2007, 10:35 PM
Hm why not a untrusted and a trusted the most people who get vouchs off alot of people get on trusted and unsafe put go on untrusted and the others try work there way on trusted so it makes the fourm a safe trade zone
RightThen
17-08-2007, 10:47 PM
basically you're saying you want to be a mm.
Trusted list isen't good tbh unsafe traders list is better cuz people will get on trusted list and just scam...

No to trusted list (Never worked, no one cared about it either)
No to middleman (Now I have to trust the middleman, instead of just making the other dude go first, or trust both if I go first) And yes, even you good people who are very trustworthy have scammed and have told me.
And I'd say take away account trading, whats the point? Your not making good money off your time if you actually made the account. More than half of those accounts have been scammed off someone. (Stolen)
And take away selling mills, ruining the cost of member pins. Its also like having cheats in Starcraft, whats the point of playing if you auto win the scenerio.
Account trading is gone, also there is a point to buying/selling mills it makes rs easier and sorta more fun, so u dont have to waste time making GP (i don't buy mills but i'm just saying)
deagle
18-08-2007, 01:24 AM
Buying mills is same as doing money cheat on starcraft
Saves time eh? Makes it balanced and actually fun? No.
Edit: If you've never played a game like Starcraft (Warcraft, Warhammer etc.) without cheats, dont comment.
i've played warcraft and starcraft ^^ and its totally different in rs it just makes things easier + it makes rs mor fun instead of wasting.. an hour trying to make monye to buy herbs for Herblore..(EXAMPLE) u have the money u buy it so u dont gotta waste time, making money

Trusted list is flawed. people can scam, plus can just be a popularity contest. MM system is the same.
People get scammed at their own risk. If they don't want to, they shouldn't trade.

Been loads of these threads, therefore it is pointless.
And who cares, you trade at your own risk don't like it, go cry under your pillow.

Imo keep it how it is.
Whtever way it gets changed to people will scam.
So just trade at your own risk.
